75: Achieve your goal of becoming the top student in the country in one fell swoop!

June 7th, the day of the National College Entrance Examination.

All the candidates from Jiangnan No. 2 High School gathered in front of the teaching building.

To welcome this National College Entrance Examination,

all the students had put on their finest clothes and were full of energy, ready to show off their skills in the examination hall.

Only Su Yan was still wearing his usual white shirt, hands in his pockets, looking indifferent.

At that moment, Tang Xia hurriedly walked over from the school gate.

Her high ponytail fluttered in the morning sun, and her school uniform skirt had been replaced with a long purple dress.

The hem of the dress rippled in the breeze, revealing her slender, fair calves.

Looking at her, Su Yan couldn't help but sigh.

Actually, Tang Xia's figure was still very good; the so-called small chest and lack of a perky butt...

That was only in comparison to Xiao Panxue, who had a devilish figure.

Her own proportions were already quite impressive among girls of the same age.

Similarly, Tang Xia's face was also very pleasing to the eye.

She already surpassed 91.6% of girls!

“Su Yan.”

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Tang Xia naturally walked to Su Yan's side.

Although the morning sun wasn't hot yet, it was still bright.

A breeze blew by, fluttering the white shirt and the purple dress.

Under the cool eaves of the building,

Su Yan looked down at Tang Xia, and Tang Xia also looked up at Su Yan.

“Oh~”

Jeering and cheering immediately broke out around them.

However, next,

Su Yan opened his mouth and blurted out:

“Are you a pig? It’s already the National College Entrance Examination, and you still managed to oversleep?”

Tang Xia’s neck turned red instantly, and she puffed out her chest. “You’re the pig! Your father is happy, alright?!”

“Tsk!”

The crowd let out a chorus of boos.

Everyone had originally thought there would be some exciting graduation confession program.

It turned out they had thought too much.

It was actually a graduation trash-talking session.

“What time is it? Why hasn't the principal arrived yet?”

As a result, the students refocused their attention on the anxious wait.

Tang Xia seemed a bit unhappy. She lifted the hem of her dress with her fair hands and deliberately kept a distance of a few steps from Su Yan.

Su Yan cheekily walked forward and asked in a low voice:

“So, how was it? You observed the dungeon sword seal last night; what did you get?”

“None of your business!”

Tang Xia muttered and walked away a few more steps.

Su Yan continued to follow her. “Tell me. As your good brother, I’m quite interested.”

Up until now,

Su Yan really admired her.

Tang Xia, with her B-rank Talent, had actually managed it without anyone’s help.

Relying solely on the resources provided by the school for the Top Scholar Class,

she had reached level 50 just yesterday before school ended.

One must know,

level 50 was already the threshold for applying to first-rate universities.

As long as Tang Xia could pass the difficult difficulty assessment in the examination hall, she could be admitted to a first-rate university!

But... it was the same old saying.

In the past two hundred years, only five people with a B-rank Talent had ever been admitted to a first-rate university.

And not one of them came from an ordinary family.

Furthermore,

although the application requirements for various colleges hadn't changed this year,

due to the influence of the Demon Slayer, the overall strength of this year's candidates had improved,

which caused the admission criteria to rise accordingly.

This was even more true for first-rate universities.

In other words,

for Tang Xia and her B-rank Talent, it would only become even more difficult.

The chances were very slim.

And just last night,

Tang Xia had sent him a message saying she was going to the library to grind the level 50 Wolf King Valley Dungeon.

She wanted to observe the dungeon sword seal before the National College Entrance Examination.

Later, because Su Yan fell asleep, he missed the result.

Now,

under Su Yan's persistent pestering, Tang Xia soon gave in.

“Fine, fine, I'll tell you. Well, I obtained an SS-rank Skill.”

A joy beyond words appeared on Tang Xia’s pretty face.

Su Yan was also pleasantly surprised. “An SS-rank Skill? Does it match your Fire Element?”

Tang Xia put her hands behind her back, making her chest look even fuller, and blinked.

“Guess?”

【What's there to guess? SS-rank Skill: Hellfire World Incineration!】

A prompt from the Eye of the Gods popped up before his eyes.

Su Yan shrugged, looking regretful. “I want to guess, but unfortunately someone won't let me.”

“Who won't let you?” Tang Xia was confused.

“Uh, are you going to say it or not? If not, we're moving on from this topic.”

Su Yan acted as if he didn't care.

But in his heart, he was genuinely happy for Tang Xia.

This observation result,

for Tang Xia,

might not be the best,

but it was definitely the most suitable.

Because with the SS-rank Skill Hellfire World Incineration,

Tang Xia's chance of getting into a first-rate university was back!

...At 7:30 AM.

The Old Principal, a group of school leaders, and the homeroom teachers of each class finally emerged from the meeting room.

This National College Entrance Examination

would be held in Jinling City, the provincial capital of Jiangdong Province, for a period of five days.

The first day was for testing cultural knowledge.

The second day was for testing theoretical knowledge of Divine Punishment.

Starting from the third day, the most important combat assessment would begin.

Assessments would be conducted on many aspects such as Rank, combat power, damage, defense, reaction, combat techniques, and so on.

The final assessment score would be calculated.

This score accounted for 80% of the National College Entrance Examination result.

To ensure the smooth and safe conduct of this examination,

the Jiangnan City Demon Extermination Institute had deployed two hundred elite Privates to handle security.

By now, everything was ready.

The Old Principal arrived at the teaching building full of ambition, and after a brief motivational speech,

he arranged for all candidates to board the school buses and head to the Teleportation Array.

Su Yan was specifically arranged to sit in the principal's car.

“Su Yan, you've worked hard these days. But the result is pleasing; with your Rank at level 90, barring any accidents, you are already the number one in the province.”

In the back seat, the Old Principal was beaming, looking particularly happy, as if he had aged backward by ten years.

Level 90.

This was the Divine Punishment Rank that Su Yan had finally reported yesterday.

This had to be entered into his academic record.

Compared to previous years, the speed of Rank improvement for this batch of candidates had been rising steadily.

He heard that there was an SS-Rank super Genius in the Imperial Capital whose Rank had already exceeded level 100.

As early as two weeks ago, they had been pre-admitted by Imperial Capital University.

They were the most popular candidate for this year's national top scholar.

As for S-Rank Genius students, their Ranks ranged from level 70 to level 95.

The level 90 that Su Yan reported was in the upper-middle range.

Taking the title of Jiangdong provincial top scholar shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, even if there was a problem, it didn't matter.

Anyway, the academic record was in the Old Principal's hands.

He could change it at any time according to the situation.

At the moment,

the Old Principal became happier as he spoke, and said with a smile:

“That Ye Yuan from the Jinling Ye Family, he originally said something about competing for the national top scholar.

I thought he was so great, but it turns out he's only at level 85!”

This time, the Old Principal deeply felt the charm of money.

He believed his 'money ability' had crushed the Ye Family and Jinling No. 1 High School.

Su Yan wanted to say something about this,

but seeing the Old Principal immersed in the joy of the provincial top scholar title being within reach, he didn't have the heart to burst his bubble.

Just then,

the Dean of Discipline sitting in the passenger seat suddenly received a phone call, and his face instantly turned dark.

A moment later, he hung up the phone.

The Dean of Discipline turned around, tears almost flowing out.

“Principal, it's over, we're finished!”

The Old Principal was instantly furious. “What's finished? We're on the way to the National College Entrance Examination; can't you say something auspicious?”

“I want to, but the latest news just came from Jinling No. 1 High School!

They say Ye Yuan isn't actually level 85, but deliberately hid his strength!”

“What?!”

The Old Principal's head felt like it exploded with a bang, and his old face instantly collapsed.

The car fell into a dead silence.

After a long time, the Old Principal asked tremblingly: “What is his real Rank?”

“Level 95!”

“F*ck! That Sandbagger!”

The Old Principal surprisingly blurted out this curse word.

He suddenly slapped the dashboard and stood up, and not surprisingly, he hit his head on the car roof.

Screech—

The sound of brakes suddenly rang out,

and the inside of the car became a mess.

The driver quickly pulled the car over to the side and stopped.

In the face of this sudden turn of events, only Su Yan remained as calm as ever.

Because he had already guessed it.

At that moment, he spoke with a smile: “It's okay, Principal. Actually, I also faked my Rank.”

However, to Su Yan's surprise,

what awaited him next wasn't the Old Principal's renewed celebration.

Instead, the Dean of Discipline gave him a hollow look, his eyes full of despair as he said:

“Su Yan, it's already too late!

Just now, Jinling No. 1 High School announced to the public that Ye Yuan has been pre-admitted by Imperial Capital University!”

“Now, if we still want to reclaim the title of provincial top scholar, we can only do so by taking a top-three spot in the national rankings!”

“But taking a national top-three spot, how could that be possible!”

“So, we've lost!”

“My personal savings, my house, they're all gone...”

The Old Principal and the Dean of Discipline slumped down dejectedly, looking like they had withered.

Su Yan seemed thoughtful, then nodded and said seriously: “Alright then, let's just go all the way in one step and take the title of national top scholar.”

Old Principal: “?”

Dean of Discipline: “?”
